	1	NEWS for rsync 3.0.1 (UNRELEASED)
	2	Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
	3	Changes since 3.0.0:
	4
	5	NOTABLE CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR:
	6
	7	- Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
	8	itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
	9	and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
	10	between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
	11	revised version with a new value (e.g. a changed symlink referent, a
	12	new device number, etc.).
	13
	14	BUG FIXES:
	15
	16	- Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was
	17	run without specifying a --config=FILE option.
	18
	19	- Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL.
	20
	21	- Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to
	22	not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date.
	23
	24	- Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs.
	25
	26	- Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files.
	27
	28	- Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom
	29	CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building
	30	of rounding.h fails.
	31
	32	- Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon.
	33
	34	- Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver
	35	that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on
	36	the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse
	37	protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a
	38	file) was already working.
	39
	40	- Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that
	41	can skip a file in a set of hard-linked files (i.e. --ignore-existing,
	42	--append, etc.), without skipping all the files in the set.
	43
	44	- Avoid setting the modify time on a directory that already has the right
	45	modify time set. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.
	46
	47	- Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of applying the
	48	exclude rules to path entries. It also sends the user an error just as
	49	if the files were actually missing (instead of silently ignoring the
	50	user's args), and avoids sending the user the filter-action messages
	51	for these non-user-initiated rules.
	52
	53	- Fixed some glitches with the dry-run code's missing-directory
	54	handling, including a problem when combined with --fuzzy.
	55
	56	- Fixed some glitches with the skipped-directory handling.
	57
	58	- Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved.
	59
	60	- Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option.
	61
	62	- The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no
	63	longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to-
	64	date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions,
	65	ownership, xattrs, etc.).
	66
	67	- Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs)
	68	because the options conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled,
	69	it automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.
	70
	71	- Fixed a couple bugs in the parsing of daemon-config excludes that could
	72	make a floating exclude rule get treated as matching an absolute path.
	73
	74	- A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support
	75	wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).
	76
	77	- Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that
	78	rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server).
	79
	80	ENHANCEMENTS:
	81
	82	- Added the --old-dirs (--old-d) option to make it easier for a user to
	83	ask for file-listings with older rsync versions (this is easier than
	84	having to type "-r --exclude='//'" manually).
	85
	86	- When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file
	87	listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the
	88	--dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue.
	89
	90	- Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides.
	91
	92	- Improved the documentation of the --append option.
	93
	94	- Improved the documentation of the filter/exclude/include daemon
	95	parameters.
	96
	97	INTERNAL:
	98
	99	- Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I
	100	sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release).
	101
	102	- Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper
	103	normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should
	104	not have caused problems, though.)
	105
	106	- Changed the file-glob code to do a directory scan without using the
	107	"glob" and "glob.h". This lets us do the globbing with less memory
	108	churn, and also avoid adding daemon-excluded items to the returned
	109	args.
	110
	111	DEVELOPER RELATED:
	112
	113	- The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about
	114	unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of
	115	the ACL/xattrs/iconv features.
	116
	117	- The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the
	118	included popt code should be used or not.
	119
	120	- Fixed two testsuite glitches: avoid a failure if someone's "cd" command
	121	outputs the current directory when cd-ing to a relative path, and made
	122	the itemized test query how rsync was built to determine if it should
	123	expect hard-linked symlinks or not.
	124
	125	- Updated the testsuite to verify that various bug fixes remain fixed.
	126
	127	- The RPM spec file was updated to have: (1) comments for how to use the
	128	rsync-patch tar file, and (2) an /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file.
	129
	130	- Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory
	131	structure.
